Help Save Cuff's Run!
On 4/2/24,  OVERWHELMING OPPOSITION TO CUFFS RUN PROJECT AS COMMENTS CLOSE
​
"The Mason Dixon Trail is a treasured recreational amenity in the Susquehanna Riverlands. The Cuffs Run gorge is a hidden gem along the trail’s challenging route. Both would be eviscerated by York Energy Storage’s ill-founded project,” said Brook Lenker, Executive Director of Keystone Trails Association. “We’re pleased to join with conservation allies in fighting this dubious energy scheme and hope that FERC shares our justified concerns.” 
​
Over 1,100 comments from people from all walks of life opposing the project.​

On 2/1/24, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) accepted a preliminary permit application submitted by York Energy Services for a Pumped Storage Hydro Project at Cuffs Run on the Lower Susquehanna River.

Amongst many concerning impacts from the construction and operation of such a facility, the Keystone Trails Association is especially worried about the potential destruction of an exceptional section of the Mason Dixon Trail.

Our friends at the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper and the Lancaster Conservancy offer extensive information regarding how to comment and otherwise get involved in this important issue. Please make your voice heard.
